# IMPORTANT: In order to parse this new format, you need Portage 1.6 or later! # OK; you're staring at this file and you have no idea what these stars are # for. Here's the scoop. An initial "*" marks a package that is part of the # official "base" system profile. If there's a "*", then "emerge system" will # use the line in its calculations of what "should" be installed for this # profile. Lines without a "*" prefix will be ignored for profile # calculations. # Now, this is new: *all* lines (star or no star) will be used as a special # package *inclusion* mask. For example, the line *=sys-devel/gcc-2.95.3-r1 # will cause Portage to totally ignore all gcc ebuilds other than # gcc-2.95.3-r1. >=, <=, <, > and ~ can be used to offer a bit more # flexibility. For example, >=sys-libs/glibc-2.2.4 will cause emerge to ignore # all glibc ebuilds with a version less than 2.2.4. This allows us to have # profile-specific package.mask settings. *All* lines are used for this # masking process, whether they are prefixed with a * or not. And if a generic # dep is used, like "sys-apps/foo", then all versions of foo are included. If # there is no entry, then all versions of an app are included. The key thing # to note is that this file does not need to end up being an exhaustive list # of portage packages; just the ones critical to this profile. # So, what happens to /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask? It's still around, # and still useful. But it should mainly be used for broken ebuilds only. # package.mask continues to function as normal, masking out ebuilds from *all* # system profiles. # Which to use? Use the profile-specific stuff to "lock down" specific # versions of ebuilds. Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc6 uses certain known-compatible # versions of binutils, gcc and glibc, so we lock them down here. This # prevents the user from shooting himself/herself in the foot by installing a # wacky version. !dev-lang/gpc *>=sys-apps/baselayout-1.7.9 *>=sys-apps/portage-2.0.4 *~sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.7 *=sys-apps/sysklogd-1.4.1 *dev-lang/python >=x11-base/xfree-4.1.0-r12 # sash - static shell for system recovery *app-shells/sash *=sys-apps/texinfo-4.2-r1 *sys-apps/textutils *sys-apps/util-linux *sys-apps/which *sys-devel/autoconf *>=sys-devel/automake-1.6.1-r5 *sys-devel/bc *sys-devel/bin86 *sys-devel/bison *sys-devel/flex *sys-devel/gettext *sys-devel/ld.so *>=sys-devel/libtool-1.4.1-r4 *sys-devel/m4 *sys-devel/make *sys-devel/patch *sys-libs/cracklib *=sys-libs/ncurses-5.2.20020112a # Removed since it's really no need for this to be default, and it together # with defaulting to db in /etc/nsswitch.conf breaks evolution >= 0.11. # sys-libs/nss-db *>=sys-libs/pam-0.75-r9 *sys-libs/pwdb *sys-libs/readline *sys-libs/slang *sys-libs/zlib #these ones have the new rc6 style init scripts >=sys-libs/gpm-1.19.3-r5 >=sys-apps/isapnptools-1.23-r6 >=sys-apps/dcron-2.7-r6 *>=net-misc/openssh-3.0.1_p1 *>=sys-apps/devfsd-1.3.20 >=sys-apps/xinetd-2.3.3-r6 >=net-fs/samba-2.2.2-r6 #>=net-fs/samba-2.0.10-r6 >=sys-apps/at-3.1.8-r6 >=app-admin/fcron-1.1.1-r6 >=app-admin/metalog-0.6-r6 >=app-admin/mon-0.38.20-r6 >=app-admin/syslog-ng-1.4.12-r6 >=net-www/apache-1.3.20-r6 >=net-analyzer/ucd-snmp-4.1.2-r6 >=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.6-r6 >=net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.4-r6 >=net-misc/dhcp-3.0_rc12-r6 >=net-misc/bind-9.1.3-r6 >=net-misc/netkit-timed-0.17-r6 >=net-misc/pdnsd-1.1.6-r6 >=net-mail/exim-3.32-r6 >=net-misc/fakeidentd-1.4-r6 >=net-nds/openldap-1.2.12-r6 >=net-nds/portmap-5b-r6 #>=sys-apps/vcron-3.0_p1-r6 >=media-sound/alsa-utils-0.5.10-r6 >=net-print/LPRng-3.7.9-r6 >=net-nds/ypbind-1.7-r6 >=net-nds/ypserv-1.3.9-r6 >=net-print/cups-1.1.10-r6 # masking the higher ntp version #>=net-misc/ntp-4.1.71-r6 =sys-apps/apmd-3.0.1-r6 #>=net-mail/postfix-20010228.5-r6 >=net-misc/portsentry-1.1-r6 >=sys-apps/noflushd-2.4-r6 >=app-text/dictd-1.5.5-r6 >=net-fs/samba-winbind-20010329-r6 >=net-www/wwwoffle-2.6d-r6 >=net-www/squid-2.4.2s-r6 >=net-dialup/ppp-2.4.1-r6 >=sys-apps/tcp-wrappers-7.6-r4 # ickle 0.2.2 breaks with gcc3. lost history, permissions and dates. >=net-im/ickle-0.3.0 >=app-sci/octave-2.1
